Toyota Industry Corporation, Japan, and Trützschler GmbH & Co. KG, Germany, had started in 2010 a successful co-operation with the joint development of a new combing machine – the TCO12 – which was exhibited at ITMA Asia in Shanghai 2012 for the first time. Since then, both companies have already sold several hundred machines worldwide, including the newly-developed Super Lap TSL12. The installations are running to the satisfaction of all customers.
Now it has been agreed that Truetzschler will take over the complete responsibility from Toyota for the comber business from engineering up to sales, service and spare parts as of the effective date November 1, 2017. This also includes the HARA service and spareparts business which will be handled by Truetzschler exclusively, starting February 1, 2018.
After about five years of successful co-operation, both Toyota and Truetzschler have now come to this new arrangement in order to strengthen their complementary partnership by focussing their individual efforts for further innovations and services to the markets.
With about 3,000 employees, Trützschler is one of the world’s leading textile machinery manufacturers. It specialises in machines, installations and accessories for spinning preparation, the nonwovens and man-made fiber industry.
